Aker BP 与 Armada 达成协议，在挪威大陆架的海上钻井平台上部署模块化数据中心，从而能够在井场直接对钻井数据进行实时处理和分析。

根据协议，Armada公司将交付其专为海上环境设计的Galleon模块化数据中心，以支持钻井平台上的本地计算能力。该系统旨在解决海上持续存在的连接限制问题，在海上，访问陆上或云端基础设施可能会延迟数据处理和决策。

通过启用现场数据处理，该部署方案使钻井团队能够实时分析大量井下数据，从而提高作业响应速度并减少数据传输延迟。该平台将支持在本地使用人工智能模型，旨在预测设备故障，减少计划外停机时间，并在网络连接中断期间维持作业。

该解决方案还引入了标准化的边缘计算架构，以统一的平台取代了分散的IT和运营技术系统。这种方法有望简化网络安全和合规性，同时实现更高效的远程监控、维护和系统更新，从而减少对海外干预的需求。

初期部署将在一个钻井平台上安装一套Galleon系统，作为参考安装。Aker BP和Armada计划将此模式作为模板，推广至更多资产，从而实现更具可重复性和可扩展性的海上数字基础设施建设，并支持远程和自主作业的更多应用。

Aker BP entered into an agreement with Armada to deploy a modular data center on an offshore drilling rig on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, enabling real-time processing and analysis of drilling data directly at the wellsite.

Under the agreement, Armada will deliver its Galleon modular data center, designed for offshore conditions, to support local compute capabilities on the rig. The system is intended to address persistent connectivity limitations offshore, where access to onshore or cloud-based infrastructure can delay data processing and decision-making.

By enabling on-site data processing, the deployment allows drilling teams to analyze large volumes of downhole data in real time, improving operational responsiveness and reducing delays associated with data transfer. The platform will support the use of AI models locally, aimed at predicting equipment failures, reducing unplanned downtime and maintaining operations during connectivity disruptions.

The solution also introduces a standardized edge computing architecture, replacing fragmented IT and operational technology systems with a unified platform. This approach is expected to simplify cybersecurity and compliance while enabling more efficient remote monitoring, maintenance and system updates, reducing the need for offshore interventions.

Initial deployment will involve a single Galleon unit on one rig, serving as a reference installation. Aker BP and Armada plan to use this model as a template for broader rollout across additional assets, enabling a more repeatable and scalable approach to offshore digital infrastructure and supporting increased use of remote and autonomous operations.
